Hei Tong couldn't help but say, "I wasn't paying that much attention either. But speaking of which, is that woman really the old man's lover?"

Bai Xuanxiang was puzzled and asked, "Then tell me, what else could it be?"

Hei Tong pointed to herself and then to her, with a slightly meaningful smile on her lips.

"You...are you saying they're siblings?!"

Although Bai Xuanxiang also thought that the most likely relationship between them was lovers, if she looked closely, their cheeks did have many similarities. Could it be that they were related by blood...

The thought of a blood relationship made Bai Xuanxiang unable to hold herself back, even her body became strange.

"No no no, it...shouldn't be that kind of relationship."

Bai Xuanxiang knew in her heart that Juxi and that woman were related by blood, but she and Hei Tong were different!

There was no connection between them.

At least in the past hundred years, there was no such possibility!

After all, one was from the East and the other from the West.

Yes, what is love in this world? I'm afraid most people know the answer.

But when it comes to twisted love...

Hei Tong felt that this twisted love was the key to forming a core spirit.

The core spirit itself was formed by consciousness, which means!

These people left behind terrifying obsessions that could destroy the world!!!

It's scary to just think about it. Isn't this being possessed by a ghost?

Um, I think there's a slight difference...that's what Hei Tong believed.

Juxi hadn't regained consciousness yet. He was just sitting quietly in the wheelchair, as if he were dead.

Hei Tong faintly felt a sense of unease in her heart, feeling that things shouldn't be resolved so easily, even though it was already troublesome!

If this uncle named Juxi really is a demon emperor, then...aren't they strapping a time bomb to themselves?

Juxi's whole body was creepy, as if the previous Leinhard incident was related to this one.

Bai Xuanxiang was already suffering from a headache and could only push away the annoying people for now.

"Hei Tong, you go rest first. It seems like we won't make any breakthroughs for a while."

"No, maybe it's not as bad as we think!"

"Why?"

"It's actually quite easy to understand. We can go ask the family he found before. I think they might know something!"

"That's impossible. They're just ordinary commoners, how would they know so much?"

"Oh dear, Xuanxiang, you can't think that way! After all, they had some contact before, in case there's any clue, it might be the key to the problem."

Hei Tong still insisted on finding the pair of grandparents and grandchildren because they were the only ones who had contact with Juxi before, so it was important to investigate them thoroughly.

"You might be right. I overheard their conversation before I went in, it seems they already knew each other."

Bai Xuanxiang nodded thoughtfully and agreed with Hei Tong's idea of questioning the family.

Since there weren't any immediate problems, they would proceed with this plan for now!

So, Bai Xuanxiang injected a certain amount of sedative into Juxi, then had someone supervise here while she took Hei Tong back to the surface.

After returning to the ground, Heitian immediately asked, "By the way, isn't that household comprised of a grandfather and auntie?"

Upon hearing this, Baixunxiang immediately tapped his head and said, "They are only a little bit older than you, but you should still call them older sister! It shows more courtesy that way."

"Alright..."

"Don't rush too much, they have been on a break these days, so they should be home."

"You're the Grand Marshal, even if they're working, there shouldn't be a problem asking them to come out, right?"

"You're right, but it would be troublesome if they went out to play."

"That shouldn't happen, because they are lower-class citizens..."

"I have already given them the status of citizens, did you forget?"

"..."

I suddenly remembered that if they had the identity of ordinary citizens, not only would they receive handsome rewards, but they would also have the right to freely move around.

By the way, these freedom of movements must be within the daytime period, before the curfew.

As for the curfew, the Allied Forces have always demanded strict compliance, and even now the curfew has only been extended by one hour.

Although it's only one hour, this is already a very big change, especially for people who need entertainment, the demand for this aspect has also increased.

Time... Yes, the most precious thing is time!

"Only in times like these would people cherish time!" Heitian muttered to himself.

This statement is indeed quite apt, don't you agree...

Just as Baixunxiang and Heitian arrived at Nannan's new home, which is an apartment building in Area C, they received this message.

"What? You're saying they've already left?" Baixunxiang couldn't believe it and asked.

"Yes," the building administrator explained helplessly. "General Bai, they caused us a lot of trouble just now, but since the interior is still being renovated, they've already gone out for a walk."

"...They went out? The new house hasn't even been arranged yet, where did these two go?"

"Simple, even if they really got angry,"

The two of them were preparing to track their wristbands, completely forgetting that there is someone like Juxi.

...

Amidst the starry sky, an infinite number of spaces collided. Who knows what this world will become the next moment?

The world in the mind is constantly changing, but reality is different. I am a third-year high school student still striving for my ideal future university.

It is almost December now, and it is less than a month until Christmas. After the winter vacation is over, it means that I have less than half a year left of my high school life.

Drip... Drip... Drip...

I nervously picked up the phone and placed it carefully to my ear...

"Tsubaki, have you thought about which university you want to attend?"

Before I could say anything, my mom couldn't wait to ask about school matters. Honestly, I really dislike these kinds of questions now, and I dislike even more when my family asks why. So, I immediately hung up the phone.

Snap!

Not long after, the heavy ringing sound resounded again, and I impatiently answered the call.

"Son, it's your father... Heh, your mom knows that you're not feeling well, but you should still discuss it with your family. In short, if you don't feel good about it, just come back, Dad won't blame you. You can still come back and work in our family..."

"No... I don't like that kind of job."

It was the same annoying topic again. Before my dad could say much, I immediately interrupted him and hung up the phone.

Chasing after my dreams is not easy at all. I absolutely cannot give up here!

For so many years, I have always reminded myself to never forget my original intention. No matter how people around me look at me, I will always walk along my own path.

Drip, drip, drip...

In the blink of an eye, it was already time to leave school. Today, I was supposed to go to Yu Nai's place to decline the invitation to the activity room. But the rain came at such an inconvenient time, making it difficult to accept. Now, even if I decline, I may not be able to go back early. It's better to just accept it.

"Sigh, so many factors wasting time. Twenty-four hours a day is really overdrawn!"

"Um..."

"Hey, buddy, did you forget your umbrella?"

I turned around and saw a big hand stroking and fiddling with my hair, pretending to be concerned.

The person in front of me, casual and with somewhat gray hair, was my classmate and desk mate -- Yuanhui.

"Oh, it's you... What, did you bring an umbrella?" I sighed.

"Hehe, what a coincidence, I didn't bring one either!" He chuckled mischievously, then placed the hand that was stroking my hair on my shoulder, relaxing his body.

Sigh...

Honestly, his timing couldn't be worse. It's like adding insult to injury.

But luckily, Yuanhui's presence allowed my attention to be diverted elsewhere. He could be considered a savior.

Seeing my melancholy expression, Yuanhui couldn't help but say, "Haha, it seems we won't be able to go back for a while. Hey... by the way, do you want to come to our activity room? There's no activity today, and those few PCs, arcade machines, and game consoles are all sitting there with no one playing!"

"That counts as an activity... Forget it, you can go by yourself, I really don't have time." I declined.

"Huh, don't you not have a club? Besides, it's raining so heavily now, you can't go back, right?" Yuanhui was a bit confused. We've known each other since we started school and are very familiar with each other.

But speaking of which, Yu Nai said she would wait for me at the entrance of the main building, but now...

After waiting for so long with no news, I decided to call directly. "Yu Nai, didn't you say you invited me to see the location of the activity room after school? By the way..."

"Eh eh eh eh eh!!!" Before I could finish my sentence, there was suddenly a voice filled with shock on the other end of the phone, almost making me drop my phone.

"Wow, I thought Juxi definitely wouldn't come!" Yu Nai's tone on the phone was extremely distrustful.

I was stunned. I didn't expect Yu Nai to be so skeptical even though she was the one who invited me originally - what a troublemaker.

It's not the first time I've been stood up like this, so I'm not surprised. My reply was just as calm.

"Heh, you really understand me."

"Well, of course. We've known each other since we were kids... hehehe."

"Childhood friends, huh? Since we're childhood friends, can you stop being so jumpy in the future?"

I shook my head helplessly, and with my free left hand, I rubbed my aching ear, with a hint of pleading in my tone.
